Chapter 5

DPOV

We were still outside the hospital room Rose was currently at. I could see her trough the glass window across from me. From where I was standing she looked almost normal. With her hair all over her pillow and her face didn't look strigoi, she looked like she was sleeping. She was a little pale like a moroi, but not nearly as pale as a strigoi. Guardians swarm by, waiting to see if the blood Rose had been given had been enough to change her. Everyone was tense and alert. Except for Lissa who was sit beside me looking worried and anxious. Me? I just felt numb.

Just then a commotion seems to take on the group. A Doctor I didn't recognize came rapidly out of Rose's room searching for someone. When he spots me he comes to a halt and says in a rather frantic voice.

"Guardian Belicov you should come. She seems to be waking up."

I don't know what the other guardians organized but I was soon striding directly for the door with about 3 guardians behind me. Lissa had to stay behind the glass for her protection.

When I opened the door I saw Rose stir. I was by her side immediately, because right then there was no one else in the room except her and me. As if she is sensing me she turns my direction and looks right into my eyes. But I'm rooted to the ground. Her beautiful chocolate brown eyes are ringed in red.

RPOV

I was on a bed. I can feel the sheets around my body. I hear a door closing and a voice on the other side saying,

"Guardian Belicov you should come. She seems to be waking up." –

By 'she' I suppose it means me. That means Dimitri is here. I cannot believe the plan actually worked. I hear the door opening and the sounds of footsteps approaching. I turn around to see Dimitri. I can already feel the corners of my mouth twitching upward. I can't wait to hear his voice again. To see him. But as soon as I open my eyes he just stands there frozen. He looks straight at me like I'm some kind of weird creature. That's when I notice that other three guardians are standing behind him. Stakes ready. I raise my eyebrows at them. What are they doing with those? It's not like I'm a strigoi they have too…wait. Martin did fed me with his blood before Dimitri shook him off me. Oh hell they surely think I'm a bloodsucking monster. And it's going to be really fun to convince him I'm not one. Note the sarcasm.

I try to prop myself up into a sitting position but as I'm just half way up all the guardians tense and began to circle me. Dimitri is the only one still. He just stares at me.

"Comrade …" – I begin but stop. There's something different about my voice. It sounds cold. Detached.

"Rose" – he croaks out. – "I'm sorry" – he says. And then he's retrieving his stake and it's throwing himself at me.

I react out of instinct. I jump from the bed and dodge by a few centimeters the stake that was about to puncture my heart. Dimitri immediately takes a step back, preparing himself to attack again. Out of the corner of my eye I see that the other Guardians are a few feet away from us but they keep their distance. The room isn't too big and there's not much space to maneuver.

"Dimitri, listen to me. I'm not a strigoi." – I try to convince him but my new stupid voice just makes it sound like a lie.

"You won't be able to trick me. I can see it in your eyes." – my eyes? That is when I turn my head to a big mirror to my right. (That is the one way window they were seeing Rose from. Like the ones at the confession rooms of the police) and I almost yell at the reflection it's showing me. My skin is pale, like white WHITE and my eyes are ringed in red. I certainly look strigoi. But I'm not. I don't feel the need to kill everyone and drink their blood. Inside, I'm still Rose.

And right now, I need Dimitri to see that.

"No, really Dimka please. I know it's hard to believe but I'm not a strigoi, not inside. Please you have to believe… - as I was talking I had let my guard down and one of the Guardians had notices so he had scurry behind me and is now trying to stake me from behind. Smart bastard.

Too bad that I saw it coming so I take him by his arm and throw him against the wall. I didn't mean to knock him unconscious; I was just trying to get him away from me. But as his body slumped to the ground the other guardians including Dimitri sprint toward me ad all hell breaks loose. I don't want to hurt them but I have to get out of here so I limit myself to disarm them and try to make them let me leave. But more guardians come in. where the hell are they coming from? I don't have any other choice but to throw myself from the window and hope we are not too high. I barely feel the glass breaking around me. I notice that my body doesn't hurt anymore from the beating I received from the strigoi and when I go through the window I don't get cut. Sadly it's not an actual window but one of those windows that you see at interrogation rooms on police TV series. I landed over somebody knocking her towards the ground. Then I noticed that person was Lissa. She looked terrified, and had tears on her eyes.

"Liss, I'm not…- just then Dimitri and the others come crashing around but when they see us they stop.

"She is going to kill the princess! – shrieks one of the guardians. It takes me a few moments to realize he means me. I don't waste anymore time, I immediately stand up and sprint to the exit. As I turn to the next hallway, my eyes briefly meet with Dimitri's and I can see a hurt and a sadness that I never thought I would see in those eyes. It nearly broke my heart.

I run down towards the main entrance, luckily, I'm just I the 4rd floor so it doesn't take me nearly as long to find the exit. Once I reach it though, I don't know how I can continue because there's still light outside. And I didn't just escape getting staked to becoming a human torch. So I turn around and head towards the basement of the hospital. Maybe in one of the storage rooms there will be a chance I can hide until night falls. I end up in one of the laundry rooms. I hide behind the drier and wait. Everything is happening so fast. The last thing I remember before blacking out was Dimitri's face and Martin feeding me blood. Ugh. That blond is seriously staring to piss me off. Just then I hear the sound of footsteps approaching. And thanks to the bond I can feel its Lissa. Wait. The bond! If it still works then that means that I'm still shadow kissed so I am still alive.

"Rose? Are you here? I am alone." – She added at the end.

"Hey Liss." – I say getting out from behind the dryer. I hate so much the way my voice sounds.

When Lissa sees me she flinches. That hurts a bit. I mean I know that I probably look strigoi but common! I'm her best friend she should be able to see the real me. She must have seen the look on my face because she immediately comes near me again.

"Hey, are you ok?"

"How can I be Liss? I don't know what is happening I mean I know that I look strigoi but I'm not really I am still the same rose Hathaway. I just don't understand what happened."

"I know Rose and I believe you but the guardians aren't going to. I need to get you out of here."

"But what about you? I'm your guardian I am the one that is supposed to take care of you. Besides Martin is still out there and he wants to kill you."

"I can look after myself and I have all the other guardians with me. And they are probably looking for me right now."

"Lissa hurry up the Guardians are coming!" – Christian shouts from the door. As he sees me he becomes paler than usual but he recovers soon and gives one of his snarky comments. – "wow Hathaway you looking kind of pale today." – He says trying to make a lame joke.

"Right back at you." – I say.

"Christian is going to help you get out. He'll take you to a safe place until we can figure things out."

So I hopped in one of the laundry carts and let Christian let me out of the hospital. I don't know how he did it with all the guardians around but in that moment I really didn't care. I ended up in a cheap room of some crappy motel downtown.

"Okay" – Christian said once we reached the safety of the room. – "umm, you should stay inside and, well try not to eat anyone." He tried to smirk but something was off about it.

"Yeah, don't worry. I'll be fine." – I say. I' surprised when he hugs me. It's not romantic in any way. Kind of like a brotherly hug. Only after he has left and I'm alone does the realization of what is happening actually come over me. I go to the bed. It's one of those metal beds with a little design. I rip one of the legs of the bed and make a fist with it. It feels like play dough. Next I go to the mirror to see myself. Chalky skin, red eyes. But if you see it closely you can make out a bit of brown on the bottom of my eyes. I open my mouth and poke my teeth. When I touch my canines I feel how they become more sharp and big. Just then I hear a knock on the door.

I go to the door to open but stay frozen in place when I see the person on the outside.

So who do you think that person is huh? Well review and answer me :D I think I will have the next chapter up for Tuesday I have yet to write it XD as always thanks to the people that review or put alarms on this story you guys rock!
